It is incredibly infuriating that all the complaining about cancel culture paved a path to this, where state officials are saying that they are allowed to censor any faculty speech that contradicts them.

Don, talking about DeSantis, look a this whistleblower suit filled by a former top law enforcement official against DeSantis. Looks like DeSantis was weaponizing law enforcement (government), to further his campaign. This should be a big story. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

I would love to see the clause in the faculty employment contract which purports to negate the First Amendment.

It shows their lack of integrity, landing in the contradiction of censoring in order to stop censorship.

And political criticism is the classic example of protected free speech. Why are DeSantis's lackeys so uniformly stupid?

The party of "free speech" hates actual free speech. In other news, grass is green.

The cancel culture panic was always a demand for power and privilege to be protected from criticism or challenge. Censorship was always the only way to achieve it.

Conservatives love "cancel culture", it's a cornerstone of their cult, they were mad because they thought the Good People (white, racist, cishet conservatives) were getting canceled by the Wrong People (everyone else)

Itโ€™s all economic immolation in order to maintain or extend conservative cultural dominance, which does not work out. These guys suck at running things and the people of Florida pay the price.

I find this whole โ€œcancel cultureโ€ argument hypocritical, since itโ€™s being raised by people who never ask for, much less respect, other points of view. Growing up in Kentucky, I saw right wing people โ€œcancelโ€ others many times. They just didnโ€™t call it that.

The fact that these things continue to escalate showcases the reality that we don't have a political party willing/able to counter this.

Florida is simply no longer part of the United States. We should start treating them accordingly along with Texas. Want federal dollars to fix up the joint after a hurricane or something? Restore rights, first, and the weโ€™ll see how feel about it.

Important to note that the state has already been censoring professors for years in Florida. Now, they just want to formalize the process.
My field, public policy and administration, would be impossible to teach under these conditions.
